" Or does it mean CREAM is as low rate as JOTS has always maintained?"

that's not true Tell. I have a ton of respect for Cream. I just don't like the sound, don't enjoy listening to them that much. First off I don't usually like the sound of trios with rare exception ( like piano jazz trios, and I like Big Head Todd live ), and I'm not a huge fan of electric blues ( like acoustic blues better ). Just my preference. I don't listen to classical music either but that doesn't mean I don't respect it immensely

My bad J--I thought you'd (and everyone here too!) know that my comment came with a big fat JK (!)...it really did turn out to be sorta funny: everyone but me figures out in no time it's some russkie ripoff site (I only knew that $0.15 was too good to be true, so that's why I asked...).

But, now I am deeply hurt and offended that you don't know me nearly as well as I'd hoped. So there.

JK, again...but, on a serious note, I know you've mentioned liking EC later in his career, right? You might want to rent some of the CREAM flicks like Live Fresh Cream or Disraeli Gears since they offer lots of history on him that I think any fan of his would find interesting (depending on whether or not you like those interview style musical docu flicks; of course, I love them, CREAM or not). And, you might even find out some things about JBruce that will impress even you!

I've read about your Cream fasination and it has made me revisit them in recent weeks. My wife and had one of our first dates at a cream show and though I've always loved them, it has been fun revisiting an old friend.
